Honors Program
The Kentucky Country Day School Honors Program was designed by our faculty to serve the student who wants to broaden his or her education in exciting ways rarely offered in the high school setting. The Program offers the students an opportunity to explore their world critically.
The program has two basic "arms" to recognize different foci and strengths of our most gifted students. Echoing the school's motto, students choose to be either "Exemplary Scholars" or "Exemplary Citizen/Stewards." All students complete a minimum of seventy-five hours of community service (fifty of which are with one organization); write a twenty- to thirty-page paper describing an independently-designed year-long project; deliver a short summary of their research and service to peers and a jury; and take a two-year, six-trimester course exploring various aspects of human thought.
All participants take the six-trimester "Humanities" sequence; these courses are separate from graduation requirements in other academic departments. The courses in the humanities sequence are as follows:
- Philosophy and Ethics: Surveys crucial developments in Western epistemology, ontology, and ethics from Pre-Socratics to Postmodernism
- Philanthropy: A nationally recognized course introduces students to philanthropy by having them shepherd an actual philanthropic organization (The Artemis Foundation)
- Theology and Cosmology: Surveys world's major religions, including, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and certain Native American religions
- Art and Aesthetics: Studies how different cultures and artistic schools have approached questions such as "what is art?" and "what is beauty?")
- Science and Truth: Explores epistemology, especially the historically bound connections between empiricism, logic, and truth
- Modern Cultural Criticism: Examines modern theories of language and culture such as deconstruction, feminism, and Marxism
More detail on the honors program can be found here.

The peeps over at Vice are offering some pretty rad Bloc Party MP3s over on their blog... for free! I know, it sounds too good to be true, but they really are. So far this week they've posted Bloc Party's cover of Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right," a couple of mashups, as well as two acoustic tracks recorded at Boston's alt-rock station WFNX. Free tunes that won't get you busted by the RIAA are a rarity these days, so snag these while you can.

Maybe Dna and the "others" are just trying to keep folks from making a mistake. Just because Knight is debt free doesn't make them a good company any more than having clean shiney trucks makes TMC a good company. Have you stepped outside the forum and done a search on Knight? The only good thing anybody can say is they are debt free. Don't get mad cause you didn't get the answers you wanted. Go to the report a good company section and look for them there. Oh, that's right.

Knight Trucking
This is why right here. Lot's of us were more than willing to put in 600-700 miles a day (still on paper), NEVER turned down loads, and pretty much just kept to ourselves. What did we get in return? Ripped the hell off, lied to about the most stupid crap, and generally treated like idiots right off the bat.

I don't know about that. It seems to me that a "rational person" would look at all that has been posted about Knight, and several other companies, and take it for what it is worth, rather than attacking a poster over posting his or her experience.
Sort of sounds to me like a company paid mouthpiece at work here. . .
Actually, I have to agree with this. But these were by far the exception to the rule. But yes, some of the old timers out of Phoenix who had been years on the Phoenix to LA and back to Phoenix run were quite happy with Knight. Of course this was back when I was with them, and I've been gone since 2004? I think. Or 2003? Somewhere back there. Anyway, these were guys with years with the company and well, well over the million mile mark with them.
But the way they operated when I was with them, and from what I hear about from drivers, and see on this forum, there were ###### few people who would put up with their crap for more than a year or so.

Do not drive for knight! They are a horrible mismanaged
Company. I ran out of the Memphis term. And as for chris
Robinson and Bo brigman they can @&$! Themselves.
Chris was the poorest excuse for a dm I have ever come
Across. He happens to be Bo brigmans little house boy
So don't try to fire him Bo will ignore your request to
The point where u have enough and give notice then Bo
Will try to get u to stay by giving u a dedicated route or
A transfer to intermodal division. O yeah Memphis
Is supposed to be the pride and joy terminal of the entire
The miles are horrible awful down right ######. In 5 months
I averaged 1500 miles per week. Several weeks I would
Deliver on Friday morning and maybe get a reload Monday.
The reload was always 400 miles over 2.5 days and those
Were the common 900 to 1200 mile weeks. 400 miles is
At the bottom end of sliding pay scale. Once ran a 3 day load
250 miles sat at Charlotte terminal for 2 days got a restart after
The restart I got two days prior.
It is common practice for dispatch reload u after u are
Empty for p/u the next morning then once u get rolling
They will change you to load picking up extremely late
And considerably fewer miles than the original load. This
Happened on every 5 of 10 loads carried. My was taking
Me off a 1200 mile run and giving a 600 mile run once at
Shipper load cancelled then given 350 mile run shipper
Closed now sit for 2 days with no load (900 mile week).
On the load that shipper said was cancelled dispatch called
Me a liar and needed to have shipper call dispatch.
Don't get me started on the idle policy, taking truck home
Policy, elogs and this line 5 bs, or each terminal being
A separate company, or grey refer trucks get to haul dry
Vans but dry side can't haul refer. I will cover these
Topics in future lessons of why not to "get behind the k"
Remember to always check your pay stub online
They hate reimbursing drivers for scales and lumpers
I have heard it's company policy to not reimburse drivers
To see if they catch it.
O yeah they also pull the fuse out of the bunk blower
So that it won't work. If it doesn't work check that
The fuse is in place.
Happy trails drivers

One more thing for now
Stay as far away from PA terminal as u can. They never
Have empty trailers there, the staff do not like drivers
From other terminals, the loaded trailers are for drivers
Out of PA terminal only, I was told by shop manager
We take care of "our" trucks first then we work in those
From other terminals. He told me u are looking at maybe
A day possible two before we even look at your truck.
If u get stuck there go ahead and bunk down for at least
Two days maybe more, and make sure u have correct
Tire pressure before u go in the gate, if u are getting close
To service due and you are pulling a good load DO NOT
Go to the terminal go to the truck stop otherwise it's drop
Your trailer and sit for 2 days while they service PA trucks
First then do your truck and u loose that rare good load
You were pulling

First (replying to another poster's accusations), I am a driver, not a paid company cheerleader or schill. Believe it, or not, I really don't care.
Second, it's true that one's DM can make or break a driver, but that is with any OTR outfit, and the secret is to keep your DM happy. (This is basic s h i t, btw). You run the miles he gives you, he becomes happy with you, and then he begins to value you. Once he begins to value you (because you are making him LOOK GOOD), he will try to make you happy also, not because he is necessarily a good person, but just out of self interest. It's the ol' "you scratch my back, and I will scratch your's" deal. And that is something you will find in any job, not just trucking.
Most drivers that I talk to are complaining about having to take their 34 hour resets, not ######## about low miles.
Myself, from late Sunday nite, I ran from Mpls to Springfield MO, from there to Mobile, from there to Pennington AL to Lawrence KS to KC KS to Menominie WI back to MPLS, where I am taking my 34+ at home, and leaving out Sunday with a load to Canton OH, with a preplan back to Chicago for Tuesday afternoon.
That's about 2800 from Sunday nite to Friday evening, a day and a half off, and then over 1000 miles between Sunday and Tuesday afternoon.
And that's pretty normal, so I just don't get this "low miles" crap. Then again, even though I and my present DM don't "click" quite as well as the last two I had, I still treat him like a human being who is just doing his job the best he can. There is "give and take" on both sides; I try to do a good job for him, and he, in turn, tries to keep me happy with home time AND miles.
Trucking is trucking, but human relations is the same at any job. Make the boss happy, and he (or she) will try to keep you happy, also.

I would liked to have made my dm look good over at "red swift"
Simple fact is that 70% of the loads chris "house boy"
Robinson sent to my truck were picking up late and impossible to deliver On time. I always acted proffesionaly with the guy but never got
The same courtesy in return. The simple fact is I have a family
To take care of and bills to pay and knight transportation
Could not provide the money I needed to support my
Obligations. 375 to 475 a week is not worth being away
From my family for weeks at a time. Then have to park my truck
At memphis terminal then waste gas driving back and forth
From Memphis to Conway, AR. (company policy) for home time.
Knight does not care about their drivers they are simply another
Another driver mill. Train the student, get some good ol dirty gov't
Money for training the student. Just thankful I found a good small
Family company to drive for and treat me like a human instead of a monkey holdin a steering wheel like knight and other companies like them. It's kinda funny though knight calls me back once a month asking me to come back to work for them

Tracy q u are obviously a knight dispatcher or planner
Or something of that nature. Any knight driver knows that
There is no pleasing a knight dispatcher or making them happy
Especially chris Robinson I don't think the guy has ever smiled I. His whole
Life or been happy for that matter

World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki swept past Maria Sharapova more easily than expected, keeping her good form and taking advantage of the Russian's 41 unforced errors to reach her second straight final at the BNP Paribas Open. The 16th-seeded Sharapova started the match by breaking Wozniacki's serve, but from then on Sharapova couldn't do much against the top seed, especially not with the overwhelming number of unforced errors outbalancing her 19 winners. Final score: 6-1 6-2.
I like this Sharapova's quote about Wozniacki's defensive style of play without winners: "I don't think it really matters if you don't miss. I mean, then why do you need to hit winners?" Haha, great! Thanks, Forty Deuce, for sharing Sharapova's unique perspective.
Interestingly, Wozniacki has reached the title match of a $4.5 million tournament without hitting a single ace!This is Wozniacki's second straight victory over Sharapova. At the 2010 US Open the Dane won 6-3 6-4.
In the other semifinal, seed No.15 Marion Bartoli powered past seed No.23 Yanina Wickmayer 6-1 6-3 to become the first French WTA player to reach the finals of the BNP Paribas Open. Also, the world No.17 has a chance to get back into the Top 10 if she wins the title.
Wozniacki leads Bartoli 4-2 in their career matches. Just a few weeks ago, in Doha, Wozniacki had an easy 6-1 6-1 victory over Bartoli. (photos: Brandon Fairbrother, Kiyo Bregar)

Budget review committee chair Councillor Dan Fortier had to read a riot act of sorts before things kicked off Tuesday night.
"The 2013 budget is extremely challenging," said Fortier, as the committee prepared to hear requests from a variety of organizations for 2013 operating grants from the city. Fortier warned representatives many of them will likely see a change in funding when the committee discusses the requests at a later date.
Thirteen organizations filed into the meeting requesting a total of $729,000 in operating grants.
At the top of the list, in terms of dollar amounts requested, was the Welland Historical Museum with a request for $211,000.
"The museum allows people and children to know who they are and where they come from," said museum executive director Nora Reid, noting the museum delivers civic pride and attracts tourism.
The Rose Festival and Welland Hospital Foundation each requested $100,000.
Rose Festival president Jeff Ward said plans are already well underway for 2013, and estimates the festival had a $2.3 million economic impact last year. In 2012 the festival received $60,000 in grants, $40,000 of which was actual funding with the rest being in-kind services and waiving of fees. This year, he said, the festival needs at least $60,000 in actual funding.
The Hope Centre requested $75,000 to assist in its food securities programs such as the food bank and soup kitchen. Centre community coach Brenda Lanigan explained the food bank saw an increase of about 105 households per month using its services.
"We're bursting at the seams most of the time," said Lanigan.
Niagara Food Festival treasurer Colin Cook was set to deliver an $80,000 request but, instead, opted to ask for similar funding to 2012 when the festival received $40,000.
"The festival brought thousands of visitors to downtown Welland," said Cook, calling the added visitors a "financial shot in the arm."
The Welland Recreational Canal Corporation made two requests: one for $5,000 to extend its Movies in the Park program and another for $50,000 to help cover the 2013 run of Illuminaqua.
In recent years, shortfalls in the Illuminaqua budget have been covered for surpluses in the Welland International Flatwater Centre budget. However, those monies have since been directed to help pay down the $4.4 million in city investment to the Welland International Flatwater Centre. Other requests included $43,000 from the Niagara Central Airport for maintenance, $10,000 from Women's Place of South Niagara, $5,500 from the Children's Safety Village, $1,000 from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 4, $4,500 from Artfest Welland, $31,000 from Faith Welland Outreach and $13,000 from the Welland Heritage Council.

Izzy is a good signing. I believe he still has a little gas left in the tank. The fight at DE just got interesting for a roster spot.
This was a good signing. I see him as an upgrade over both of the two backup level guys (Lane and Scott) Emery signed earlier. This looks like the end of the line for Wootton. I doubt they'd have brought Izzy back if they intended to sign Wootton too. I still wonder what's up with that. The kid has been productive these past two years so either he's hurt worse than I've thought of he's in somebodies doghouse for something.

Understanding .NET
This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.
Microsoft's .NET is revolutionizing Windows-based software development. Since its initial release in 2002, .NET has changed significantly, becoming the foundation for a new generation of Windows applications. The .NET Framework and Visual Studio, the two core aspects of this initiative, provide a multilanguage environment in which developers can create Web services, graphical user interfaces, and other kinds of applications. Taken as a whole, the .NET technologies have changed the way nearly every Windows application is built.
Now fully updated for version 2.0 of the .NET Framework and Visual Basic 2005, Understanding .NET, Second Edition, is a concise guide to the landscape of Windows development. Margin notes, detailed diagrams, and lucid writing make this book easy to read and navigate, while analysis sections explore controversial issues and address common concerns. David Chappell's independent perspective and straightforward descriptions clarify both how the .NET technologies work and how they can be used.
Coverage includes
- An overview of .NET and its goals
- The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
- The .NET languages, including C#, Visual Basic, and C++
- The .NET Framework class library
- Building Web Applications with ASP.NET
- Accessing Data with ADO.NET
- .NET framework integration with SQL Server 2005
The key to using a new technology is to understand the fundamentals. This book provides the robust foundation developers and technical managers need to make the right decisions and maximize the potential of this revolutionary framework.

Indians in headsight of the pirates of Puntland
Ever heard of Puntland? What about Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud? Well he's the president of this "state of Somalia", as the MEA describes it. It's the more stable part of the African Horn and he's in India seeking support for strong measures against piracy and training for his marine police.
Mohamud's presence in India was largely ignored by the press but naval sources were hopeful the government would push "his excellency" hard on the issue of piracy from his soil. Although Mohamud has been vocal against pirates, sources said two merchant ships hijacked in April and May are anchored in the port of Baladeer, which is in Puntland. When asked Mohamud denied it, nor was he illuminating on how the port of Eyl (also in Puntland) is a pirate hub.
Coincidentally, Mohamud's visit marked the first ever air strikes on pirate strongholds in Somalia. An EU naval helicopter targeted a pirate base on the Somali coast early on Tuesday, destroying several skiffs. It's the first operation since the EU unveiled a more muscular anti-piracy policy two months ago, which permits attacks on offshore and onshore pirate bases.
There's more, the first "private navy" will hit the waters of the Gulf of Aden by December. It will comprise a fleet of 18 fast patrol boats all armed, being set up at a cost of $70 mn and will be based in Djibouti, the French naval enclave on the Horn. The ships will be operated by a British firm Convoy Escort Programme and its cost will be underwritten by Lloyds.
Each tanker/merchant vessel will be charged $30,000-40,000 if it wants to be escorted through the internationally recognised transit corridor. The current cost for insurance is around $50,000-$80,000 so the private navy should have no problem taking off. If all goes well, it will be able to protect around 25 per cent of the traffic through the pirate-infested waters.
India and Indian sailors are bound to benefit but the buzz from Somalia is ominous. Pirates are on the lookout for Indian sailors to trade for their kith and kin held in India on charges of piracy.

3 Days till we head back to go HUNTING....... It's been FREEZING cold in Wyoming and there was snow on the ground this morning. But in 3 days I get to hunt Hyena, Impala, Kudu, Cape Buffalo and maybe a Hippo. I am ridiculously excited. How am I ever going to get any work done? While I haven't done anything today at work, I have made a packing list and collected all the documents I need and renewed my Ambien prescription. I don't know if my hunting buddy is excited as I am but I am pretty excited to say the least. I can't wait to relax and hunt and not think for one minute about safety meetings, employee problems, etc. But in 3 days that all goes away as does all the email and texts and phone calls. All they can do is text me and I'm only turning on that phone once a day. Freedom and hunting......... I'm so excited.
Oh, one more question. Has anyone heard that US Fish and Wildlife is contemplating closing lions? I am thinking of booking a RSA lion hunt next year. I have read all the reviews on RSA lions vs. free range so let's please not go there. I have made my peace with that issue. I am just curious if I should be in a hurry to hunt a lion sooner rather than later........ So many animals to hunt, so little time......
Have a great trip 3 days wish it was me going I have a few months still to wait. The US fish & wildlife along with the currant admin anything is possible if your thinking of hunting lion and have the funds do it. It is a very exciting hunt I did it last year and would/will do it again in the future after I get me a elly.
Okay Uinta, thanks. That's good advice. I have a house in Wyoming and in Utah. Do I drive by you every weekend? Funny, I pass elk all the time on the freeway but never hunted Utah. Wyoming is just always out my back door to hunt. An elephant? I am REALLY jealous. Did you write a report on the lion? Or even better, have a pic?
You may I'm in SLC but grew up and still have family ranch in Wyoming I travel back and forth lots I'm always trying to draw one of those Wyoming tags.
Usfw has delayed its lion ruling until next year. They decided to wait until sci gets its data which means they are most likely basing their decision on science rather than emotion. Lion hunting will be on for next year for sure now so u will be fine. I hope this helps. I also plan on doing a few lion hunts myself next year. I may do one this year and two next year. Time will tell.
A COUPLE lion hunts next year? Tap, I'm impressed. I had to sit my wife down and explain that the Range Rover is going to have to wait because I HAVE to hunt lions next year in case they close it Worked like a charm. What do you do for a living Tap? I have some free time with owning businesses but I certainly can't hunt all summer. Uinta, do you qualify for a landowner tag at all? And we should carpool. I make the roundtrip at least once a week.
you certainly sound all jarred up about your hunt akeate , hope you have a corker mate looking forward to reading about it and admiring your pictures
I work in the oilfield and live irresponsibly. I'm just an average guy with an expensive hobby I guess. if things go well I will be in semi retirement shortly. that's why im planning on hunting a few lions next year. I will have more time. We may hunt one this year and the rest next year. Im looking at doing a 30 day safari. Im really wanting a cahora basa croc and a matetsi lion. My wife wants a SA lion so that's the reason for the different lions. Im simply looking for adventure and adrenaline rush's. So as for next year were just gonna travel around and hunt the whole lot. Im really toying with the idea of hunting the Waterberg in Namibia as its the only place I can complete a "free range" big five quest. your welcome to join.
Tap that sounds like a heck of a lot of fun you and the little lady have a blast. Be sure to keep us informed with lots of pics.
akeate I know what you mean we had a safety meeting today as we start the Pickwick Lock dewatering and all I could think of was the day after this ends(5 weeks) I'm on a plane to South Africa they can extend this if they want I'm going hunting. Have a ton of fun.
Would you guys please knock it off. We don't talk about safety meetings and reports and such. This is a site where we talk only about clean wholesome things. You guys need your mouths washed out. I finally got things streamlined enough so that I don't go to those dreadful meetings. Im merely a saleman for the most part and as of now all my equipment is out so I just spend the days at the gym and dreaming of africa.
tap, I'm in the oil business as well. Own a service company. I basically measure every job we do by the cost of a hunt. There's a kudu, there's a lion, there's an elephant........ We use it to keep sanity around here. It also makes a great discussion point and oil company men like to come to the office to check out all the crazy animals on the wall. Everyone around here has an Elk but very few have a Blue Wildebeest.
I started this same process with a company I consult to. Hunters seem to get it. There's a Kudu...., Bongo pricing really gets them excited.
You own a service company to? So finally theres someone who would understand what i do. I have workover rigs. I had a flowback company and water trucks as well but i got out of those as i was tired of the constant headache. I kept my rigs cuz i have only the best hands hired. They dont break down, complain, or miss work. They never have issues and the foremen and supervisors i have hired to look after things are second to none. In about to make a final push. Gonna add 20 to 30 more rigs and then go from there. Normally i tell someone i have completion rigs and they dont understand so i just tell them i have rigs like that show black gold. I still dont understand why u go to the safety meetings. I goto location when i feel like it and have the attitude that if the safety man gives me problems i will just rig down and move. Its insulting for me as all my guys are highly experienced. Safety meetings are for worms and i dont hire worms. Theres a reason why ive been in business 12 years with zero accidents.
I will be wanting a croc. I know that area is the place to go to for crocs over 15 feet and my wife and i both want to try for 16 ft crocs. Thats the only area where i know that is possible. Does the area you hunt produce crocs nearing 16 ft very often? If so what kind of pricing are we looking at?

Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
She is very professional, responsible and dedicated to the job once she is in. I had cases which were really desperate, I had had another attorney before her but that one simply dropped my case unannounced when she thinks it is difficult.
I found Jennifer and gain positive results. She worked all three of my cases successfully and payment scheme is flexible.
I had been hopeless on the cases but she did them brilliantly.
I can say without hesitation, she is the best in town.
Jennifer worked with us to handle my wife's immigration which we had complicated without trying. She was patient, listened to my story and worked with us to handle what had been defined as not a good case by my corporate lawyer. Jennifer was very good in understanding what exact reasons would help USCIS understand that ours was a case of misunderstanding and circumstances that were beyond our control. Very well done Jennifer and we appreciate you and your professionalism.
Jennifer Durkin has helped both of my parents and I on legalizing our immigration status here in the U.S. Our case was a little complex and it took years on settling it; but she finally helped us accomplish a big goal. I always recommend Jennifer because she definitely will work hard, intelligently, and effectively on one's case. Not only she will give you an expert advice on the field; but she will also come up with other options to tackle the problem if you'll ever have one with your case.
I am more than happy that I finally got my green card! I am so thankful of my husband for knowing probably the best Lawyer you could ever have. Jennifer Durkin has everything you could thing of of a lawyer, very professional,very knowledgeable, very warm, calm, very confident. She doesn't make you feel intimidated. She's very excellent at what she does! She gives you peace of mind.There's no doubt that I would go back to her when it's time to get my naturalization and when its time to file for my family back home! I am very confident to highly recommend her to everyone that needs immigration assistance/help.Thank you for everything and more power!
Jennifer helped me and my husband change my status from F-1 to permanent resident. There were some issues with my case, and she was upfront about it while also providing concrete solutions on how to address them.
Jennifer has also helped me in obtaining the status of "state resident" for tuition purposes at my school, which saved us nearly as much as her fee was (she is the human incarnation of "worth every penny"). She has also done a tremendous job at preparing us for the interview and making sure we had everything we needed.
But perhaps as important as her technical skill and knowledge is Jennifer's attitude. She is pleasant, smart, interested. She is the kind of person I would love having over for dinner. She also seems to get along with all of the other lawyers on her floor, who speak very highly of her.
We had initially filed our green card based marriage ourselves, but over the course, we ran into some personal incidents that we needed a good immigration lawyer.
We searched for a few before finally finding Ms. Durkin of Durkin & Puri, she not only helped us obtain my husband's green card but helped out with another case, with her great advice!
We had spoken with other immigration lawyers before her, they told us our case was tough and had very little chance. we were so disappointed.
But then we found Ms. Durkin after googling and reading some good things about her firm.
She was so different right from the beginning. She was so positive, patient, and the thing that got us was that she seemed to have experience in all sorts of immigration cases. She was so confident in us and told us we will be fine. We immediately hired for our AOS interview at garden city,
she prepped us endlessly. Even though our case was scheduled for another ( stokes) interview, which because we did have a really tough officer who was the not very nice at all and even in her experience, she never seen anyone like her.
In any case, to make the story short, she prepped us more for stokes interview, which we aced!
We have to say, she was totally positive, she prepped us endlessly, she prepared our documents so neat and organized for the officers to look at.
We are so thankful to her!!! We 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a great immigration lawyer!

Enjoy the game, everyone! Mike Tanier and Matt Bowen break down the matchup.
Merry Christmas, USC: You're getting one more year of Matt Barkley
For starters, he'll open next season as the runaway favorite for the Heisman Trophy, with every USC passing record in his sights after a blistering finish to the 2011 campaign. He'll succeed Luck as the undisputed No. 1 prospect in the 2013 draft, and enjoy the fruits of being the 21-year-old Face of College Football in Los Angeles.
I take no position on this. As Tim Tebow would say, "I don't know what's in his heart."
Money? The NFL? A Barkley craves not these things.
Mora: So-called tradition stops here
Jim L. Mora found out about the first one at UCLA - where seniors "go over the wall" to skip a day of practice - and he's not happy about it. In fact, he made it very clear it's one tradition that will stop the day he starts. "It's completely unacceptable and it will not be part of the program going forward," he said. "It's a privilege, not a right to play football for the UCLA Bruins. With the commitment you make when you sign on to play here, comes a commit to do what's asked of you by your coaches on a daily basis. I can just tell you, in no uncertain terms, that that tradition will no longer be a part of tradition going forward."
Now I know why Rahim Moore has been experiencing problems. It's all because of this insidious "over the wall" thing!
Why so serious, Jim? I realize Senior Skip Day is a slippery slope--skip a day of practice here, and eventually, we'll find you in an alley with a needle sticking out of your arm--but isn't it enough to simply end the tradition and move on? Is there really the need for the over-the-top rhetoric? It's not like we're talking about a whole team of Maurice Claretts. Just end it and it's done. There are bigger fish to fry. Pete Carroll didn't make USC into a powerhouse by getting all hardcore. He did it by violating NCAA rules building strong relationships with his players.
I predict Mora is gone in three years. He's proven before that he knows how to misapply the tough-guy shtick. I'm just glad he didn't accept John Fox's offer to become defensive coordinator of the Broncos.
Denver Broncos Respond To Petition For Team To Produce 'It Gets Better' Video
"The Denver Broncos are committed to tolerance, acceptance and respect for all in the community," said Smyth. "The National Football League is currently working with USA Network on its 'Characters Unite' campaign combating prejudice and intolerance, and our organization is in full support of that movement to help raise awareness for this very important cause." Smyth declined to provide a specific comment on It Gets Better.
Although it's disappointing that the NFL and the Broncos won't support or even comment on It Gets Better, it's great to hear the league is working with USA Network's campaign to promote tolerance and fight discrimination in all forms. I hope it's not an empty promise from Smyth and the Broncos/NFL, because Characters Unite doesn't appear to have the sharpest of teeth to it - they've only put out two press releases in all of 2011, there are zero corporate entities on their list of official partners, and they haven't updated their Facts & Statistics page in over a year.
As our fellow Broncos fan Deborah Braconnier details in her fine column on the matter, the Red Sox and Cubs have already put together It Gets Better videos.
Packers are the real America's team
22% of voters say the Packers are their favorite team in the NFL to 11% for the Cowboys, 8% for the Bears, Giants, and Steelers, 7% for the Saints, 6% for the Patriots, 4% for the Redskins, and 2% for the Jets. 24% say someone else is their favorite team or that they don't have a favorite. Tim Tebow, as expected, edged out Eli Manning (12 percent) and his brother Peyton (10 percent) for the title of America's most popular quarterback. Tom Brady, Drew Brees and MVP favorite Aaron Rodgers finished next, with 6 percent of the vote.
I'm filing this under "Another reason John Elway should give Tebow more time." Put aside wins and losses (I know it's hard) and put aside what you think might happen at quarterback. Simply imagine you are Joe Ellis. Imagine you're concerned about the short-term (3-5 years) monetary situation of the Denver Broncos. Imagine your market research tells you that you've got the most popular quarterback in America--so popular in fact, the entire state of Florida liked you on Facebook, DJs on Air 1 Radio (yeah, I listen, I'll admit it) are converting thousands each day to the orange and predominantly blue, and even Randall Cunningham is--as we speak--telling everyone in the Greater Las Vegas area to pray for Tebow. What are you going to do?
Wins? Losses? Tebow's the guy with the gun audience. He's a 240-pound mint. I'd be inclined to have a sitdown with John Elway and give him some lessons in the time value of money.
Study Links Winning Football and Declining Grades
When a college football team is successful, students put down their books and pick up some beers. In examining the grade-point averages of the Oregon student body and the performance of the Ducks' football team, the researchers found a relationship between declining grades and success on the field. "Our results support the concern that big-time sports are a threat to American higher education," the paper's authors — Jason M. Lindo, Isaac D. Swensen and Glen R. Waddell — wrote. They said their work was among the first to take a look at the "nonmonetary costs" of college sports. Male students were more likely than female students to increase their alcohol consumption and celebrating and decrease studying when a team fared well, resulting in lower grade-point averages, according to the study.
When you see studies like this, you should always be skeptical. It sounds logical to conclude that when a school's football team is doing well, students are probably having a little more fun and spending less time on their studies. And it may be true. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's not, to be honest. However, after reading the quote from the authors, I'm struck by their sheer conviction. Academics aren't above jumping to conclusions based on one set of data--in this case, the University of Oregon's football team from 1997 to 2007. Further, they're not above taking on a topic in which they can make a name for themselves. Imagine if their data didn't prove their conclusion. It wouldn't make news; it wouldn't get their name into the press; it might not be worth a paper at all.
In order to support the claim that big-time sports are a threat to education, I'd like to see more data from more schools and see it benchmarked. Everything is relative, as they say.
Ex-players sue NFL over concussions
Jamal Lewis, Dorsey Levens and two other former NFL players say in a federal lawsuit that brain injuries have left them struggling with medical problems years after their playing days ended…The players maintain the NFL knew as early as the 1920s of the potential for concussions to harm its players.
"The NFL has done everything in its power to hide the issue and mislead players concerning the risks associated with concussions," the players argue in the lawsuit…"While athletes in other professional sports who had suffered concussions were being effectively 'shut down' for long periods of time or full seasons, NFL protocol was to return players who had suffered concussions to the very game in which the injury occurred," the lawsuit states.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Interesting post yesterday from Brian Burke on the silly reliance upon gross rushing yards to measure a running back's effectiveness. Funny thing is, he's not just talking about fans here - Burke is studying salaries and how players are valued by the NFL. Running backs apparently get paid for their rushing yards rather than their total contributions to their teams, which is how guys like DeAngelo Williams get $21M in guarantees to comprise just one half of a RB tandem. Burke's best line is his clincher:
"Football people" want to tell you that they ignore stats and just look at the game. They want us to believe they have a near mystical sense of how to recognize good play. The fact is they do rely on stats, just the wrong ones.
Remember this next time you hear/read someone say how much they hate stats and then later cite some as proof of a player's worth. "I hate stats" usually translates to "I hate advanced (or rate) stats that I haven't taken the time to understand, and instead I prefer the traditional ones I've heard about my whole life."
Broncos Tebow, Dumervil, Miller get strong fan support for Pro Bowl
— If the fans have their way, the Broncos will be well-represented in this season's Pro Bowl game in Honolulu. Quarterback Tim Tebow, defensive end Elvis Dumervil and outside linebacker Von Miller would all be heading to Hawaii to play for the AFC in the Pro Bowl game that will be played Jan. 29….Fans constitute one-third of the Pro Bowl voting. The players have one-third and the coaches make up the other one-third. Bronco coaches voted Tuesday night with Bronco players filling out their Pro Bowl ballots today…The Pro Bowl squads will be announced at 5 p.m. MST Tuesday on the NFL Network.
In the final fans voting, Tebow was third among AFC quarterbacks, behind New England's Tom Brady and Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger. The top three quarterbacks are named to the AFC team.
Braylon Edwards gave 79 students $10,000 for college
As a Cleveland Browns rookie in 2005, Edwards announced he'd give $10,000 in scholarships to 100 area eighth-graders if they could graduate high school with over a 2.5 GPA and 15 hours community service. Of the 100 who were afforded the opportunity, 79 met the criteria and have begun their first year of college. Many are attending Ohio universities, but the schools represented spread across the country and include Harvard, Cornell and Johns Hopkins…Edwards hasn't played for the Browns in two years. He's a member of the San Francisco 49ers this season and is earning a $1 million base salary for the year, just about what he'll pay those 79 students he promised to help years ago.
As I read this, I began thinking of how I might apply this to my own life. If you know of 79 students who need a $1 Jumbo Eraser at Dollar Tree, send them along. I'm a big spender.

Winsted needs new leadership to solve its problems
As I returned from vacation, I saw nothing has changed in Winsted except we are now $4 million in the red, a $1 million increase from this year's budget. Why are we talking about the 2013-14 budget when we don't have enough money to pay our bills in the current fiscal year? Mayor Maryann D. Welcome should step up and find a solution to this problem.
Residents voted on a budget with a set amount. Why is the Board of Selectmen overspending? Maybe we should hold the selectmen accountable for the overspending.

Usage notes[edit]
- Majority in the sense of "more than half" is used with countable nouns only; for example, "The majority of the members of the committee were in favour of the motion." It is incorrect to use with it uncountable nouns, as in "The majority of the world is covered with water." In the latter case, it is preferable to use expressions such as "the larger part of" or "most of" instead of the "the majority of",

Silent world building. I love it! My favorite detail was the fact that the two fighting armies were, rather than two existing countries' flags or two made up flags, it was Diamonds versus Spades.

I remember seeing this on vimeo the first week it was out... still as inspiring now.

I was watching this as I was listening to Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons and it fit surprisingly well (for a while...)
Here's for anyone willing to try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh_bTk yJV5s
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Question: Can watching 4 minutes of a boat be entertaining, funny, and heartwarming.
Answer: Apparently, yes.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is simply beautiful. The artwork in this is highly impressive from beginning to end, it truly is like watching a moving painting. The animation is quite superb on not only the little boat, but its environments.
The story is interesting, using no words and nothing but sound to show this little boat's journey which I found fascinating just seeing where this little boat would go next. There really is nothing else to say here. If this is just experimental I would love to see what a full project from you would be like. Overall this movie is absolutely wonderful.

NEW DELHI: After alleging that there were dissensions in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Cabinet, BJP today found itself in the same predicament with its senior leaders Narendra Modi, B S Yeddyurappa and Ramesh Pokhriyal keeping away from the party's national executive meet here.
The Gujarat Chief Minister did not turn up at the conclave here despite BJP President Nitin Gadkari stating yesterday that the party is trying to convince him to attend.
Very few would buy the argument that Modi is fasting for Navratra and hence unable to participate.
He has kept away as he is unhappy with senior leader L K Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra for good governance and clean politics, sources said. He had reportedly told Advani that the yatra is "un-necessary and irrelevant".
Modi, who is said to be gearing up to become BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate in the next polls, sees Advani's yatra as the latter's attempt to be in the fray.
Modi's disagreement led Advani to shift the starting point of his yatra to Sitabdiara in Bihar.
BJP top brass tried to downplay Modi's absence. "It is not true that Modi is unhappy. He fasts during Navratra and so is not attending the national executive," BJP Chief Spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
Modi is also sulking due to the re-induction of his political adversary Sanjay Joshi into the party fold. Though Joshi has been brought in informally and his profile is low-key in comparison to his earlier role as General Secretary (Organization), this has not gone down well with Modi.
To add to the woes of the Advani camp, some leaders have even said Modi would make "the best Prime Minister in the history of the country". BJP Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Punj, who is believed to be close to the Gujarat Chief Minister, said "If he (Modi) gets a chance, he will prove to be the best prime minister in the history of the country." Punj is BJP incharge of Gujarat.
Asked if Modi or Advani would become a better Prime Minister, Punj said, "I do not know this. I will not make any comparisons. That the people of the nation will decide."
Prasad also described Modi as "very capable and competent Chief Minister who is praised not only in India but abroad as well".
Asked who would be BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, Prasad took an apparent dig at Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, saying, "We have a galaxy of leaders. We are not dependent on one Yuvaraj (crown prince)."
Yeddyurappa, who had grudgingly stepped down from the post of Karnataka Chief Minister recently after the Lokayukta indicted him in a land allotment case, has also kept away from the conclave.
While the official reasons cited for his absence are by-elections in Karnataka and his wife's death anniversary today, sources said he is unhappy with his removal and his weakening hold on the state government.
Ex-Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, who has been replaced by B C Khanduri after increasing cases of corruption in his government, was also absent today. His unhappiness may harm BJP in the forthcoming Assembly polls.
However, BJP maintained there is no dissension within.
"Infighting is there in the Congress and not in our party," senior leader Murli Manohar Joshi said, while BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain insisted "there is no clash". -PTI

Blackfoot Confederacy, Elders' Vision, Tribal Radio's Friday Featured CD, September 14th
Elders' Vision, recorded live during the 43rd Annual Kyi-Yo Powwow at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. Blackfoot Confederacy originated in 2004 during the Annual North American Indian Days in Browning, Montana. Original singers were sought out for their knowledge of the songs that belong to the Four Nations of the Confederacy. With a strong commitment to preserving the songs of the Blackfoot Confederacy and the Blackfoot Style of singing these singers have sat once again to share the songs with the people. Songs composed and dating as far back as the 1950's are Included on this recording, as well as an intro/outro spoken in the Blackfoot language by Chief Earl Old Person, Chief of the Blackfoot Nation. KSUT Southern Ute Tribal Radio would like to say, "Thank you!!" to Jay Dusty Bull, Mike LaFromboise and Canyon Records for their contributions to the station.

Quarter glass
Quarter glass or quarter light on automobiles and closed carriages may be a side window in the front door or located on each side of the car just forward of the rear window of the vehicle. Only some cars have them. In some cases the fixed quarter glass may set in the corner or "C-pillar" of the vehicle. Quarter glass is also sometimes called a valence window.[1]
This window may be set on hinges and is then also known as a vent window. Most often found on older vehicles on the front door, it is a small roughly triangular glass in front of and separate from the main window that rotates inward (see top right image). The 1940 Pontiac Torpedo had front and rear vent windows called "ventiplanes". It has hinges and a latch, thus it can be opened for additional ventilation. Most vehicles since the 1960s have removed this feature for cleaner styling, known as "ventless" windows. Some vehicles also have glass that rolls down like a regular window or have hinged opening vent quarter windows for rear seat passengers.[2] This may be a side window between the B-pillar and the C-pillar, and in the case of US minivans between the C and D-pillars (examples include the Chrysler Town and Country).
They can also be non-movable and mounted in the door itself because that section of the rear side glass would not be able to slide down because of the cut out in the rear doors to clear the rear wheel housings. The fixed portion of the glass is separated from the main window that rolls down by a slim opaque vertical bar (see top left image of a close-up of rear door).
A quarter glass can be found set in the body or A-pillar ahead of the front door opening (examples include the Chevrolet Lumina APV and eighth generation Honda Civic 4-door sedan).
In some automobiles the fixed quarter glass may set in the corner or "C-pillar" of the vehicle. There are also designs that incorporate two quarter windows (see bottom right image) one that is part of the door and the second mounted in the roof pillar. This arrangement may help to increase driver visibility. In this case, the quarter glass in the C-pillar would not be called an "opera window."

Yesterday we went to Doneraile Park in Co. Cork for a photowalk. Weather was nice, if overcast and it was very warm so walking around the park was, errr, a walk in the park. Katie has already uploaded a few shots this morning! Looking forward to seeing more from the others.
This is my part 1 of my shots. There's almost another 100 shots to upload, I think a gallery of 220 or so images might be a bit much ..

'Southern' baby names Choice CAF
All names taken from Southern Baby Names lists on various websites I'm not sure how some of these names are considered 'southern' (being that I'm not American), but it seemed like a fun idea for a CAF. Hope you enjoy!
